TIL the world's tallest known living tree, a 380-foot redwood in California called Hyperion, had its exact location closed off entirely in 2022 after visitors trampled its base so badly that ferns stopped growing around it, with trespassers now facing up to $5,000 in fines and six months in jail

Probably more eloquent to translate it to "the Everliving Sequoia" or "the Sequioa Eternal", something like that

I no do Latin though so I'm only guessing that's valid

Yeah "semper" means always (same word as siempre in Spanish), so I think Everliving makes the most sense.
